Pros

Commission pay is great and if you work hard you can make more many that you would in any other retail job, People are impressed when you say you work there.

Cons

You have to be competitive and out for yourself in order to make money. It isn't a team vibe because everyone is against one another. They can be very focused on looks to get ahead.

Pros

Schedule flexibilty. All sales positions are commission based so your effort really has an impact on the amount you can make although it does take some time to develop product knowledge and build a customer base. The company does a decent job of giving you the tools to be successful. The company only promotes from within and is well respected and looks good for future employers. Benefits are good but not great but discounts on merchandise are a perk for someone that likes fashion.

Cons

Retail hours so that means nights, weekends and holidays. I personally dont mind it but for some this could be an issue. Sales are very seasonal so your pay is never consistent. Expect to work and make more during the summer and christmas time but make less during the remaining months. Opportunities are limited for promotions unless you are willing to commute or relocate.

Pros

Discount of 15%. In my department (jewelry) we would play games each week and the winner would get to pick out a prize from the department!

Cons

On slow days, it can get really boring.
